From the earliest surviving baseball broadcast audio of Fenway Park (partial through the 4th inning, available elsewhere on YT), Opening Day 1938, Red Sox vs Yankees. This is the only surviving audio of Bobby Doerr playing at Fenway. I've made a quick video of his game moments from this day - Flied to center in the 2nd, threw Gehrig out in the 3rd (Doerr was the last surviving MLB player to have played in a game with Gehrig), singled in the 4th. Also detailed on video above. RIP Bobby, who passed today at 99.
